What JPS RESTORATION AND CONSULTANCY LTD does

JPS Restoration & Consultancy Ltd is a privately held, family-run specialist heritage conservation firm headquartered in Alloa, Scotland, founded in 2010 by Director Jason P Struthers. The company provides conservation, restoration, and maintenance services for industrial heritage assets, with deep expertise in historic cast and wrought iron (bandstands, fountains, gates, railings, windows, and glasshouses), structural timber repairs on heritage vessels and buildings, and museum collections care for industrial artifacts including windmills, watermills, locomotives, ships, and textile machinery. Its in-house capability to pattern make and re-cast new cast iron elements allows end-to-end delivery on metalwork restoration projects.

The business serves heritage bodies, museums, local authorities, architects and surveyors, private clients, and large contractors across the United Kingdom. Notable projects include structural timber and deck conservation on RRS Discovery in Dundee, window restoration at Aberdeen Railway Station, gate restoration at St Conans Kirk, and ongoing collections care at Kinnaird Head Lighthouse Museum and Stanley Mills under contract with Historic Scotland. The firm also offers expert consultancy services covering condition and viability surveys for industrial conservation projects.

Revenue is generated through project-based restoration fees billed to clients on individually quoted engagements, plus professional consultancy fees for condition assessments and expert advisory work. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise and field engagement with the UK heritage sector, supported by a company website, a project portfolio, and modest social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. The company is bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no external investors or parent entity indicated.

Direct peers

• Cliveden Conservation: UK-based heritage conservation firm offering restoration and consultancy on historic buildings and collections, with overlapping craft trades and institutional client base. Directly comparable specialist competitor serving museums, heritage bodies, and private estates.
• CgMs Consulting: UK heritage and archaeology consultancy providing planning, advisory, and conservation services to developers, local authorities, and heritage bodies. Comparable to JPS's consultancy arm and overlaps on institutional client relationships.
• Stonewest: Specialist UK heritage masonry and conservation contractor delivering restoration of historic structures for public-sector and institutional clients. Closely comparable in scope and delivery model, though specialised in stone rather than iron and timber.
• Colander Conservation: Specialist UK conservation firm working on historic metalwork, architectural surfaces, and decorative finishes. Closely comparable craft specialisation, particularly in metal conservation, and overlapping client segments.

Broad incumbents

• Purcell: Major UK heritage architecture practice delivering conservation, restoration, and advisory services across listed buildings and heritage sites. A much larger incumbent whose heritage restoration work overlaps with JPS's project type, but operating at a broader portfolio scale.
• Donald Insall Associates: Long-established UK heritage architecture firm specialising in conservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Encounters JPS on similar public-sector heritage projects but offers a broader architectural and planning portfolio.
• Simpson & Brown: Scottish heritage architecture practice with strong track record on listed buildings, castles, and traditional structures. Comparable on sector and geography, but offers architectural design rather than specialist craft trades.
• Austin-Smith:Lord: UK architecture and conservation practice with significant heritage restoration work for institutional and public-sector clients. Comparable institutional client base; broader service offering than JPS's specialist craft focus.

Others

• Historic Environment Scotland: Lead public heritage body in Scotland that commissions industrial heritage conservation contracts (including work awarded to JPS). Not a competitor but a key institutional buyer shaping the addressable project pipeline.

Emerging players

• Walter Menteth Architects: UK architect with documented experience in heritage, conservation, and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Engages in similar project types but operates as a smaller design-led practice rather than a specialist craft contractor.
